Mr Duncan Hamilton (Highlands and Islands) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive which of the criteria detailed in paragraph 14 of Domestic Abuse Service Development Fund Application Guide cover the travel and overnight costs of women who have been re-housed to escape domestic violence and, if such costs are not covered by any of the criteria in paragraph 14, how expenses will be covered by the Domestic Abuse Service Development Fund.
